My backswing is my biggest enemy. I cannot rotate my shoulder without moving much of my hips due to my stiff body. Worse thing is that the stiffness is only on my shoulder. My hips are extremely flexible and seem to move in any direction. As a result, I slice the ball when using driver, and top the ball when using irons...all kinds of problems imagineable.

Any sporting device or aid that I can buy that will restruct the movement of my hips? I don't mind even if it feels extremely uncomfortable.

try this drill to keep the feeling of restricting a big turn of your hips
stand with your feet together and take a back swing and a follow through. you can also put your left foot over your right (if you're a righty) and swing like that. swing easy.

if you're really have problems, then stretching your arms, back, shoulders at least 3 times a day. morning, mid and b4 you sleep would help. it never hurts to stretch it out. i'll try to take pics of my PT stretch chart and upload them so you can see the key stretches for that added flexibility.

I would appreciate this is well. I lost a week worth of playing because I did not stretch properly.

I also do extreme neck stretching b/c of my back & neck pains.

A training aid called The Leaderboard would be perfect for this.

Try experimenting on different feet positions like a baseball batter does with an open stance to see what works best for your unique situations. They say that anybody can play golf in the First Tee program and that mean you can try different position that allow you to swing your best in your situation.
